I would first get rid of xdm, then run 

   X -probeonly 2> my_x-probe.log

From the console.
Then post the file my_x-probe.log (which shouldn´t be too long) here.

What is printed on the biggest chip of this card (or have you already
posted this?)

Maybe also worth trying: I don´t know whether the big hardware support
database at www.suse.de is also available in english---if not, I could
look it up for you.

Cheers,
